How Much Will Your Retirement Cost?

Estimating how much income you will need in retirement — and determining whether
your current program of savings and investments can provide that income —
is a good start to developing a retirement plan. This calculator is designed to
help you estimate how much income you may need in retirement and the savings necessary
to produce that income.

The Cost of Procrastination

How much do you need to save each year to provide your desired retirement income?
This graph shows the amount you would have to save each year to work toward your
goal, at the rate of return you entered, if you started saving today, and if you
wait five years to start saving. As you can see, waiting just a few years can have
a substantial impact on the amount you need to save.

The amount accumulated if you started saving today is $0.00.
The amount accumulated if you save the same annual amount at the same annual return,
but wait five years to start is $0.00.

The information provided is not specific investment advice, a guarantee of performance, or a recommendation. Rates of return will vary over time, particularly for long–term investments. Investments offering the potential for higher rates of return also involve a higher degree of risk.

This hypothetical example is used for illustrative purposes only. Actual results will vary.

L.M. Kohn & Company has a contractual agreement with RBC Correspondent Services (RBC CS) to serve as our clearing firm. This fully disclosed agreement states the responsibilities of each party. Prior to the agreement becoming effective, RBC CS is responsible for making all disclosures to our firm's designated examining authority as required by NYSE Rule 382. Each client of our firm is notified of the relationship via a disclosure letter. The disclosure letter details the responsibilities that our firm (the introducing broker-dealer) and RBC CS (the clearing firm) have to the client. Although client assets are held by RBC Capital Markets Corporation, neither RBC Capital Markets Corporation nor RBC CS has responsibility for the financial condition or performance of our firm or our Financial Consultants. Our clearing firm, RBC Correspondent Services, is a division of RBC Capital Markets Corporation. RBC Capital Markets Corporation is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). SIPC is a nonprofit membership corporation funded by its member security broker-dealers. SIPC protects the securities clients of its members in the event of the failure of a member firm. SIPC reimburses clients the cash value of their securities up to $500,000 per client. Any cash in a client's account would be reimbursed by SIPC up to $100,000 (reducing the $500,000 above). RBC Capital Markets Corporation has purchased an additional policy that offers coverage in excess of the protection provided by SIPC. This coverage covers additional securities and cash protection up to $99.5 million per client, of which $900,000 may be in cash. A $400 million aggregate limit applies to this additional coverage. RBC Capital Markets Corporation also offers protection if a client's securities are missing because of theft by an outsider, computer fraud or theft by an employee for personal gain. In such cases, the firm's CAN$310 million Financial Institution Bond coverage would cover the client's losses, subject to that policy's terms, conditions and limits. Note: Neither SIPC protection, nor protection in excess of that offered by SIPC, covers a decline in the value of a client's assets due to market loss.
